Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points of (0,-4) and (-4,6)

Answer 1

y = -5/2x - 4

Explanation:

(0,-4) and (-4,6)

Slope:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(6+4)/(-4-0)

m=10/-4

m= -5/2

Slope-intercept:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 4 = -5/2(x - 0)

y + 4 = -5/2x

y = -5/2x - 4
